Note that the ROTON engine never got built, so it's difficult to know

The original ROTON design was a very large design that had to feed two
fluids at a time. That is tricky as you can'tt afford one to leak
into the other. Instead I am thinking of building a single feed
engine that would only be 50 cm in radius or probably less. Seems
more do-able.

You still run into the same problem - a ROTON type engine has never
been built.
